Why is genius lonely?

Why are geniuses mostly lonely?

Why are geniuses mostly lonely? Because they are not on the same level as ordinary people. It is like a ladder. At the beginning of climbing, genius has stood at the top of victory, while ordinary people like us have to climb step by step through our unremitting efforts. In the process of climbing, we may fall or fall. What about those lucky people? They will also reach the other side of victory, but the proportion of these people is relatively small.

So in contrast, a genius, that is, a winner, stood in a place that most people could not reach quickly from the beginning. So, from this perspective, they are lonely. Because of their high status, they can think of things that ordinary people can't think of.

This is like why Haizi is lonely, because he is a "talented poet" and his thoughts are beyond ordinary people's understanding. He has his reasons, his beliefs, and what he thinks is beautiful. But all this is more like a "madman" talking nonsense to ordinary people. Another example is van Gogh. Why did Van Gogh paint such an advanced style? Because his enthusiasm is burning extremely, his creative enthusiasm is burning extremely, so he can understand the realm that ordinary people can't understand. Therefore, his "Starry Sky" can draw a moving sky map that was not detected by technology at that time.

Van Gogh and Haizi are both unknown geniuses, and it is precisely because of their high status that they are lonely.
